Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923. This book

Tipping Point the Coming Weather Crisis is an indepth examination
of weather conditions over the last 400,000 years; examining the
effects that volcanic eruptions, Carbon Dioxide and Methane gas had
both on the environment and on the history of mankind. Only from
the past can we forecast what the future may bring and four times
in the last 400,000 years as soon as it has reached maximum
temperature an Ice Age has rapidly started. The melting of the
Arctic Ice Pack is the tipping point that throws us into another
ice age. So what happens after the Arctic Ice pack melts? Does it
just keep getting so hot that the earth melts down? I don't think
so. We are very near the end of the current warm period that has
lasted 16,000 years, the end is long overdue and only lasted this
long because man learned to use fire and the resulting smog cooled
the atmosphere slightly - prolonging the current warm period.
Shifting to oil and hydroelectric for energy has cleared the air
and is allowing global warming to accelerate. In the depths of the
last Ice Age, over 8 million square miles of ice covered the
continents. This changed the very geography of the Earth and many
shallow seas now covered by ocean were above sea level. The then
mostly dry Aegean Sea in the Eastern Mediterranean was habitable
and a Garden of Eden for mankind for over 80,000 years - giving man
a safe haven from both beasts and massive volcanic eruptions. This
Garden of Eden was covered by ocean, 10,000 years ago. I theorize
on the meteorological and oceanographic conditions that allowed
glaciers to form and last for 100,000 years, plus what effect miles
of ice had on continents, oceans and man. What was it like for men
and animals living next to a glacier and how did we survive
eruptions that destroyed the Earth's Ozone layer? Abrupt weather
changes have occurred in the past, when conditions existed almost
exactly like they are today. Data from Ice cores taken from
glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica have shown us that transition
into the next Ice Age comes very rapidly after the warm peak is
reached. Granted this is rapid on a geologic timeframe. But it is
also true that one day in Canada and Eurasia, the winter will bring
a solid freeze and this ice will not melt for 36 million days
(approximately 100,000 years). Imagine a time when Canadians and
Americans are jumping the border into Mexico and they are not
welcome, but they go and go armed, having nothing to lose, already
leaving a home and life covered in ice, millions will lose
everything. A time of ice, when war and hunger are the norm and
nuclear weapons get used on every continent - more than once. I do
hope that I am wrong.
A Romeo and Juliet story set in the summer of love, 1969. A boy
leaves home, a sailor returns. A nonstop story of a boys search for
love and the disasters along the way.

Reference Guide to Writing Across the Curriculum traces the Writing
Across the Curriculum movement from its origins in British
secondary education through its flourishing in American higher
education and extension to American primary and secondary
education. The authors follow their historical review of the
literature by a review of research into primary, secondary, and
higher education WAC teaching and learning. Subsequent chapters
examine the relations of WAC to Writing to Learn theory, research,
and pedagogy, as well as its interactions with the Rhetoric of
Science and Writing in the Disciplines movements. Current issues of
theory and practice are followed by a presentation of best
practices in program design, assessment, and classroom practices.
An extensive bibliography and suggestions for further reading round
out this comprehensive guide to Writing Across the Curriculum.
